Corona Virus Quarantine thoughts:
first and foremost, praise God for helping us recognize we ARE NOT in control of our lives after all. We generally do not control if we die, or if we live, HE, God/Jesus/Holy spirit decides this. He is the Chief engineer, creator, designer, founder of this world. He knows what makes or breaks this world. Unfortunately, humankind, Christians/nonchristians, are getting a reality check right now.
So much so, that we are now in a mode of living in anxiety/fear. And one thing this pandemic has shown is our character that he has been molding all this time. He has awakened us on who/what we trust. Our bank accounts, our education/abilities/intellect/charisma? I believe this according to the bible, is not our last days, but a merciful warning. Even if it means, making us uncomfortable for a period of time, bringing some uncertainty.
This is a graceful/merciful strong warning, a reality check for His people, Christians to non-Christians to wake up and recognize the one true God. There is only 1 true God that decides if we live and if we perish. But perhaps those who have not tasted and experience him, may see God as a unmerciful God, a God who causes diseases to disrupt our lives, a cruel manipulative god.
But I'm convince this Corona virus, is hint of prophesy of what is to come. We would not read / heed the warning of the bible, but rather live life, actions and pursue the ambitions of the world. Perhaps some may think the word of God is a fairy tale that would never come.
We are NOT in control, some will wake up from their slumber(blindness, hardness toward God), others will continue to be blind and have the hardness of Pharoah as the bible explains in Exodus.
This Corona virus will wake "some" up and begin a hopeful depending, trusting relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, who died for their sins and gave them eternal life(trust hope, protection, relationship). At this time, we need some trust, people we love don't have corona virus, hope that this corona virus will be gone, protection that our shelter in place will prevent us from corona virus. All of whom Jesus provides. This is time for us to open up our hearts, eyes and ears for what God has mercifully revealed to us, through his word.
He is who has ears, let him hear!
